are you addicted?

How can you tell you are addicted to climbing? 

1. do you continue climbing even though it just rained and the rock is all wet?

2. its pitch dark, freezing cold, you've climb all day, and still you continue climbing

3. you have holes in your fingers so you tape up only to realise you lost grip, so you remove all the tape and realise that the holes in your fingers are actually what will give you the extra grip you need to top the line!!!

4. the base is covered in snow, so you use the first bolt to anchor yourself so you don't get your climbing shoes wet
